The receptionist adjusted her glasses and responded politely, regaining her composure when talking about business. "Well, it would be 150,000 won, including registration."
Seo Joon stepped forward, took out his card, and proceeded to pay. Seeing that the payment was successfully received, the receptionist smiled and said, "Thank you very much for your payment. Could you give me your name to add to the membership list and your phone number?"
...
Seo Joon found it strange that a gym would ask for a phone number as part of the membership registration. After all, in his past life, although he did not exercise regularly, he had been to a gym
and on those occasions they had not asked for this information. Seo Joon thought about it for a moment but then shrugged and gave his details, attributing the reason to Korean culture or something like that.
After receiving the information, the receptionist smiled like a flower as she looked at Seo Joon. "Thank you very much for choosing us. Welcome," she said as she unlocked the electronic gate that led to the gym.
Seo Joon approached and said nothing.As for the familiarity he felt from the woman, after thinking about it he didn't know, so he put it aside.
after all, he had a lot on his mind today.
Seo Joon entered the gym and began a routine he saw on NewTube, focusing mainly on strength, with the three basics as the central axis: squats, deadlifts, and bench presses.
A LITTLE LATER
Applause, applause, applause, applause
Seo Joon added another four 25kg plates per side to the Olympic bar. Fortunately, the free weights in this gym were calibrated, so there were no problems. Seo Joon positioned himself under the bar and gripped it tightly.
He assumed the standard free squat position and slowly began his repetition. At that moment, he already had a total of 340 kg on his back, plus his body weight, which undoubtedly already reached 400 kg and change.
Although this weight might seem surreal and incredible to others, only he knew that this was nothing to him. After all, his strength, endurance, speed, and other abilities are superhuman. You should know that his physique is the same as Toji Fushiguro's.
Therefore, these things are a joke to him. After finishing, he moved on to deadlift and finally bench presses. At that moment, due to his exaggerated weights, Many people looked at him as if they were looking at a monster..
At that moment, the receptionist from earlier looked at Seo Joon with fascination in her eyes. Looking to her side, she looked at one of the instructors at her gym and compared him to Seo Joon. After a moment, she sighed with disappointment.
The instructor, sensing his boss's gaze, turned and looked at her while scratching his cheek in embarrassment. "What's wrong, boss?"
....
The receptionist sighed, nudged the man, and said with annoyance, "Hyun-Soo, why can't you be like him?"
.....
"Ah, well..." Hyun-Soo said unconsciously as he looked at the absurd weight Seo Joon was carrying.
At that moment, his boss waved her hands dismissively and added, "If you had a quarter of what that man has, could sell more training plans and make our gym richer and more popular."
...
"Look at yourself. Even though you're an instructor, you're too skinny. You won't get any clients like that."
Hearing his boss's harsh words, Hyun-Soo didn't know what to say. He wanted to argue that he wasn't skinny, that he was just lean and his muscles weren't noticeable, but seeing Seo Joon lifting ridiculous weight, he simply remained silent.
The woman shook her head and said no more. Instead, she pointed to the ugly, fat lady who had just arrived and said to Hyuun-Soo, "Enough wasting time, it's time to get back to work."
.....
Seeing the ugly, fat woman, Hyuun-Soo showed some disgust. To be honest, he would prefer be his partner Dongjun Ha, after all, he always got the young girls and the most beautiful and voluptuous women.
On the other hand, Seo Joon had already finished his routine, he took his phone and saw that it was 7:30 AM, after wiping his sweat, Seo Joon got ready to return home.
Seo Joon said goodbye to the receptionist and walked out the door. The receptionist looked at Seo Joon's broad back as she smiled sweetly with a predatory look and thought to herself.
"I should ask him out?. It wasn't for nothing that I asked for his phone number as an excuse to proceed with the registration, but how can I explain this? If there's no suitable excuse, he'll probably think I'm a stalker, right?"
The woman thought for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more likely this situation seemed to be. At that moment, an idea came to her mind.
As she thought about it, she was confident that her plan would work; it was just a matter of waiting a while.
Seo Joon had no idea what the receptionist was thinking. At that moment, he was jogging home.
When he arrived, he took a quick shower and put on his new uniform, which consisted of a blue jacket, a cream-colored sweater, a white long-sleeved shirt underneath, a black tie, gray dress pants, and black shoes.
He grabbed his school backpack, which contained his iPad for taking notes and teaching his private classes.
Seo Joon looked at himself in the mirror and felt satisfied; the uniform fit him perfectly. He took his black-rimmed glasses from his dressing table and put them on.
Although due to his physical change and Kise Ryota's talent, wearing glasses had become completely unnecessary, he still wore them out of habit.
After looking at himself in the mirror a few more times, Seo Joon left his apartment, walked to the public transport, and headed to Jaewon High School.
When he arrived at a place closer to Jaewon High School, Seo Joon asked for directions. After some twists and turns, he finally arrived at Jaewon High School. As Seo Joon walked, he noticed the scrutinizing looks directed at him.
some girls whispering about his appearance, others about his terrifying physique. At that moment, the murmurs grew louder in a certain direction.
When Seo Joon looked over, he knew the reason. The cause of the commotion was, of course, Daniel Park, the protagonist of Lookism.
Seo Joon looked at Daniel Park for a few moments. In the end, as in the original plot, Daniel Park used his second body to come to class.
Seo Joon stopped looking at Daniel Park and continued walking to the office where the teachers usually gather. For some reason unknown to Seo Joon, Daniel Park had come up beside him. At that moment, Daniel Park was acting strange, nervous, cheerful, and other emotions that Seo Joon couldn't describe.
Upon arriving at the teachers' lounge, Seo Joon waited with Daniel Park by his side. At that moment, Daniel Park broke the silence. "Are you coming as an exchange student too?"
Hearing Daniel Park speak to him, Seo Joon was confused. He didn't know Daniel Park at all, so it was strange for him to speak to him. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered the reason why Daniel Park had spoken to him.
"It must be because of that incident with Zack, right?"
Seo Joon thought about it for a while and in the end, he had no doubt that this was the reason. To be honest, the reason he acted that way at the time was not because he sympathized with the protagonist or because he was a good person.
The reason was simple: he acted with his dick after all. Mira Kim is quite pretty and nice. At that moment, he was being selfish, but to be honest, Seo Joon doubted that Mira Kim would leave Zack just because he had kicked her ass.
After thinking about this, Seo Joon replied, "Well, you're certainly right."
"Oh, I see. What department will you be in?"
"Fashion department. And you?"
Daniel Park was surprised by Seo Joon's response, then immediately replied, "Oh, what a coincidence, I'll be in the same department. By the way, my name is Daniel Park. What's your name?"
"Seo Joon, nice to meet you," Seo Joon replied with a smile. Daniel Park was about to continue chatting when a teacher approached them. After some greetings and introductions from Jaewon High School, the teacher took them to their classroom.
"Jaewon High School is an academic institution that focuses on vocational education and employment rather than sending students to college. It also offers practical training and work experience programs. Although it may sound like a shady institution,
that's not the case. After all, it's well known that this high school has trained several famous idols in Korea, which has proven that its teaching method is effective.
Seo Joon initially thought about entering the computer science department, since he was quite good in this area in his previous life, but after thinking about it, he ultimately opted for the Fashion Department. It's not that he planned to become an idol or anything like that.
Not at all. The reason he did this was simply because he considered it pointless to do something he had already done before, and also because most of the main characters are in this department.
At that moment, Seo Joon and Daniel Park stopped next to the teacher, who looked at them and said, "Wait here. I'll let you know when to come in."
Seo Joon nodded, while Daniel Park replied, "Okay, professor."
The professor entered the classroom, and at that moment, the students stopped talking when they saw him come in. Seeing that they were paying attention, the professor said, "Today, there are two students transferring to the Fashion Department. Please get along with them."
The teacher looked toward the door and said, "Please come in and introduce yourselves." At that moment, even though the students didn't care much about the transfer of new students, they still paid a little attention.
Seo Joon stood in front of the students, and at that moment, Daniel Park stepped forward and smiled nervously, "Well, my name is Daniel Park. I hope to get along well with all of you."
At that moment, everyone was in shock, especially the girls, who were almost crazy when they looked at Daniel Park and Seo Joon.
The boys, on the other hand, gave both of them hostile looks, and there was one person who was more hostile than everyone else, and that was, of course, Zack.
His face was still bruised and swollen, and he gave Seo Joon a murderous look, which Seo Joon naturally noticed but ignored, maintaining a soft and warm smile on his face.
After Daniel Park's introduction, Seo Joon stepped forward, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, and introduced himself with a friendly smile. "Good morning, everyone. My name is Seo Joon, and I'm from Gangbuk. I hope to get along well with everyone during our stay here."
BADOOM!
At that moment, the young girls felt as if Cupid had shot them with an arrow straight to the heart. Although Daniel Park was very handsome, to the girls, Seo Joon looked even more handsome.
After all, although his appearance was slightly inferior to Daniel Park's, it wasn't bad, and this was compensated for and surpassed by the friendly aura he gave off. The girls didn't know why, but there was a strange aura that made them more receptive to Seo Joon.
When Mira Kim saw Seo Joon's friendly smile and warm atmosphere, she opened her mouth in disbelief. After all, just like Zack, she had recognized Seo Joon at a glance.
She never thought that this fierce boy who had beaten Zack until he vomited blood would now look like a good, friendly, and harmless person to plants and animals.
At that moment, Mira's emotions were complicated. She sighed helplessly and hoped that Zack would not get into trouble with Seo Joon again.
The teacher was pleased with Seo Joon's introduction. After all, his gentle and friendly appearance, combined with the charisma given by the system, made the teacher feel satisfied with Seo Joon.
In his mind, he had already labeled him as a good boy. "Well, sit in the empty seats."
Seo Joon moved to his favorite seat, and as he walked between the desks, Zack, seeing that the teacher was leaving, rushed to cause trouble. He stood up and looked at Seo Joon with hostile eyes.
...
At that moment, the classroom fell silent, and the atmosphere became tense as the absolute leader of the class stood up to pick a fight with the new kid.
Seo Joon still had that friendly smile on his face, as if Zack's murderous glare had nothing to do with him. Seo Joon adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "Classmate, is something wrong?"
....
Zack, with a murderous look in his eyes, said hostilely, "Son of a bitch, don't you remember me?"
Seo Joon tilted his head in confusion. "Classmate, I don't know what you're talking about. It's my first day at this school. I don't want to offend you, but I don't even know who you are."
....
At that moment, Zack's hostility toward Seo Joon reached its peak. He stretched out his hand and pulled Seo Joon by his sweater, trying to lift him up, but at that moment, Zack opened his eyes in disbelief. He noticed that Seo Joon hadn't moved an inch due to his grip.
